The mental illness problem in America is much worse than I thought.
The attacks, where drivers mow down people on foot or knife-wielding assailants stab multiple victims, are not new in China. But the latest surge drew attention. ...
In November alone, three took place: A man struck people at an elementary school in Hunan province, wounding 30, after suffering investment losses. A student who failed his examination stabbed and killed eight at a vocational school in the city of Yixing. The most victims, 35 people, resulted from a man mowing down a crowd in the southern city of Zhuhai, supposedly upset over his divorce. ...
In eastern Anhui province, a ruling Communist Party leader ... said they must “thoroughly and meticulously investigate and resolve conflicts and disputes,” including in families, marriages and neighborhoods. ...
The Ministry of Justice promised to curtail conflicts by looking into squabbles over inheritance, housing, land and unpaid wages.
Ha ha ha, good luck with that.

'Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,' she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. 'The fact we couldn't touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone. We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn't happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim's behavior was very selfish. ... This is a very crucial moment in history and a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.'

In 1995, he and his wife registered a for-profit company in Nebraska to take high-school students on trips to the Communist country. Gwen Walz, a former teacher and school administrator, is listed as the president of Educational Travel Adventures, while Walz is listed as the secretary and treasurer of the company that was incorporated using their home address in Mankato, Minn., according to public documents.
They married a year earlier on June 4, 1994, the fifth anniversary of the end of the deadly Tiananmen protests. “He wanted a date he’ll always remember,” Gwen told the Scottsbluff Star-Herald in 1994. The two spent their honeymoon there, according to the paper.

Gee, who honeymoons in a place where communists defeated freedom?
ABC's debate moderators made sure NOT to go there, no sir. And they completely avoided making Harris defend her inflation record as Biden's VP and instead joined the attack on Trump, fact-checking him multiple times but not her. Trump had to debate three people.
It was a disgraceful spectacle which he should have known better than to join.
At least Trump called her a Marxist at one point, that was good.
Harris for her part continued to push for the gimmicks which WaPo previously called out: $25k down-payment assistance which will only increase housing prices by $25k; $50k tax credits for starting a business, which is notably a lot more than for the everyday folks Democrats say they care about most (how many of those will later declare bankruptcy and pocket the cash?); $6k child tax credit, an idea stolen from J. D. Vance and bid-up just like student-loan forgiveness in order to buy votes.
It's all just marginal stuff which treats the symptoms and not the causes.
She is not a serious candidate.

I mean, they predicted a $100 million loss, so it wasn't THAT bad, right?
Jeff Bezos paid $250 million for WaPo in 2013.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.
It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food.
Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels.
Far-off Washington bureaucrats would.
The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.
At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat. (There’s a reason narrower “price gouging” laws that exist in some U.S. states are rarely invoked.)
At worst, it might accidentally raise prices. ...
If your opponent claims you’re a “communist,” maybe don’t start with an economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price controls. We already have plenty of economic gibberish . . ..

Harris is 0-2.
She picked a terrible VP who is as far to the left as she is.
Now her first policy announcement is a throwback to the 5-year plans of the USSR.
Extremely inauspicious.
Meanwhile, conservatives want children to read age-appropriate books.
There are no banned books in America, unless you are a commie librarian, but I repeat myself, who won't stock conservative books demanded by the public.
Like guns, we have to go buy our own.
Meanwhile, here are the final election results from France's most-watched news channel BFM-TV, slanted pro-business instead of pro-worker, shown below.
As you can see Le Pen's "right wing" alliance RN has overwhelming support in terms of votes with 10.12 million in the 2024 Second Round (left column) vs. 3.58 million in 2022, and now enjoys 143 seats vs. 89 in 2022. It's now arguably France's biggest party.
RN has grown its support phenomenally in just two years.
Its problem is that its support is more diffuse, so that its supporters are frequently outnumbered by enough voters from other parties to win seats. And this time leftist NFP and Macron's centrist ENS cooperated in the second round to reduce candidates so that voters had to choose more often than normally between just two sides.
In the end no one got even close to 289 seats to achieve control in the 577 seat National Assembly.
And Macron could easily lose a vote of confidence in the wake of this within weeks and send the voters back to the polls again.
RN is obviously a growing threat to the status quo all while Macron has been just bleeding out seats since 2017, when he had a comfortable lead with 350.
Even CNN recognizes this:
The RN’s success should not be underestimated. In the 2017 elections,
when Macron swept to power, the RN won just eight seats. In 2022, it
surged to 89 seats. In Sunday’s vote, it won 125 – making it the largest
individual party. That unity means it will likely remain a potent force
in the next parliament, while the solidity of the leftist coalition
remains untested.
Stay tuned. The fireworks are not over, not in the least because the lunatics of NFP are even more divided than France as a whole, primarily because of the presence of the anti-semitic communist Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Thirty-nine National Rally candidates have already been elected to
parliament after winning over 50 percent of first-round votes -- a tour
de force by a movement that never before managed to win a parliamentary
seat in the first round of voting of a two-stage election before.
They include the party's longtime leader Marine Le Pen and party vice-president Sebastien Chenu. ...
Among the losers was Communist Party leader, Fabien Roussel, who lost his seat to an RN candidate in a constituency that had been held by the Communists for over 60 years. ...
The party's [NR's] worst scores were in Paris, where all its candidates were eliminated in the first round.
